Advantages

Reliability

Disadvantages

Compact, light and very useable

I purchased this iron and was amazed at how light it was. The stainless steel sole plate really does glide through ironing. It produces lots of steam and the compact sole plate makes ironing fiddly items easy. But equally good at the larger items.The iron stand detaches from the base unit so you can out it on the ironing board removing the need to have the base unit on the board, giving you lots more room.
